ईयोब 23
Then Job answered and said:
Still is my complaint bitter; But my wound is deeper than my groaning.
O that I knew where I might find him! That I might go before his throne!
I would order my cause before him, And fill my mouth with arguments;
5 ५ त्याने माझ्या युक्तिवादाला कसे प्रत्युतर दिले असते ते मला कळले असते. तो मला काय म्हणाला ते मी लक्षात घेतले असते.
I should know what he would answer me, And understand what he would say to me.
6 ६ त्याच्या महान सामर्थ्याने त्याने माझ्याविरुध्द वाद केला असता का? नाही; तर त्याने माझ्याकडे लक्ष दिले असते.
Would he contend with me with his mighty power? No! he would have regard to me.
Then would an upright man contend with him, And I should be fully acquitted by my judge.
But, behold, I go eastward, and he is not there; And westward, but I cannot perceive him;
9 ९ उत्तरेकडे तो कार्य करीत असला, तरी मला तो दिसू शकत नाही. आणि दक्षिणेकडेही, जेथे तो स्वतःस लपवितो त्यामुळे तेथेही तो मला दिसत नाही.
To the north, where he worketh, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the south, and I cannot see him.
But he knoweth the way which is in my heart; When he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.
My feet have trodden in his steps; His way I have kept, and have not turned aside from it.
12 १२ मी त्याच्या ओठांच्या आज्ञेचे पालन करण्यापासुन मागे वळालो नाही, मी संपत्ती प्रमाणे माझ्या हृदयात देवाच्या मुखातून बाहेर पडणारे शब्द ठेवले आहेत.
I have not neglected the precepts of his lips; Above my own law have I esteemed the words of his mouth.
But he is of one mind, and who can turn him? And what he desireth, that he doeth.
He performeth that which is appointed for me; And many such things are in his mind!
15 १५ यास्तव, मी त्याच्या उपस्थीतीला घाबरतो, जेव्हा मी त्याच्याबद्दल विचार करतो, मला त्याची भीती वाटते.
Therefore I am in terror on account of him; When I consider, I am afraid of him.
For God maketh my heart faint; Yea, the Almighty terrifieth me;
Because I was not taken away before darkness came, And he hath not hidden darkness from mine eyes.
